IITs and Medicine

“Recognizing the long standing demand by many IITs and recommendations by various committees, the IIT Council on Friday gave its consent to the institutes to start courses in Medicine”

TOI dated 11.10.10

I can’t understand why IITs need to start medicine courses. They have already been spoilt enough. My respect and regards towards IITs down a few notches.

“However, the health Ministry is NOT in favour of IITs starting medicine courses. Instead it has suggested that they should consider starting Phd programmes involving collaboration between engineering and medical science”

Since when did the ministry turn so sensible? Account of respect and regards towards the ministry opened.
